Q: Why were the majority of Crevecoeur's written works only published after his death?
A: Crevecoeur, being the owner and operator of a farm of much prosperity, wrote about the simple eloquence of the American lifestyle and how living such was the epitome of the American Dream and the fulfillment of man's purpose on earth. His style of writing though cultured by his years of college, was not even considered by scholars and publishers of the time period. Only after his death did American publishers read and publish his written works.
